Please don't start posting actual .gif files, it's a very old, inefficient and outdated format.
"gif" has become a term for short form videos without sound, it isn't just actual .gif files anymore.
The last many many years basically all "gifs" on the internet has been .mp4/webm files or similar, for example imgur will convert any uploaded .gif to an .mp4 because it's just so much smaller, faster, smoother and better in every aspect, .gifv is just a custom wrapper they use for .mp4 files.
